On the dates listed below, the Board’s Office of the Advocate for Business will present on the basics of the workers’ compensation system, including insurance types, coverage requirements, and employers’ obligations under the law.
Each one-hour presentation will also cover:
- who needs coverage and who does not need coverage,
- how and when to report an injury or illness,
- considerations when hiring independent contractors, laborers, and domestic workers,
- lowering premiums, and
- penalties and where to go for assistance with them
All these are topics business owners and other employers, as well as their HR staff, should know about! The sessions are free and there will be time at the end for questions.
